xdotool doesn't show the correct titles of firefox windows any longer

Hi *, starting with openSUSE Tumbleweed 20221113 xdotool doesn't show the correct titles of firefox any longer, instead returns "Firefox" or an empty string. This worked as expected until I installed this snapshot yesterday. xdotool search --classname firefox 45088769 45088831 45088954 $ xdotool getwindowname 45088769 Firefox $ xdotool getwindowname 45088831 $ xdotool getwindowname 45088954 Firefox Worked until recent update: /usr/bin/xdotool search --sync --name '(VDR Portal)' where "VDR Portal" is the title of a Firefox window. It returned "VDR Portal - Mozilla Firefox". The list returned by for w in $( xdotool search -class firefox ); do xdotool getwindowname $w; done shows all of the windows, that search didn't find: Firefox VDR Portal — Mozilla Firefox ... So it seems, that only xdotool search doesn't work any longer. Any idea, what might have changed here during this update? Neither xdotool nor Firefox have been updated with it. TIA. Bye. Michael.

Wayland Setting
by Ianseeks 30 Nov '22

Hi I've just started using Wayland and when it opens windows, it doesn't remember where i placed it last time - is there a setting to say "remember last placement"? I couldn't find anything in SystemSettings/Window Management/Advanced regards Ian -- opensuse:tumbleweed:20221125 Qt: 5.15.7 KDE Frameworks: 5.100.0 - KDE Plasma: 5.26.3 - kwin 5.26.3 kmail2 5.21.3 (22.08.3) - akonadiserver 5.21.3 (22.08.3) - Kernel: 6.0.8-1- default - xf86-video-nouveau: 1.0.17

SDDM resolution
by Ianseeks 24 Nov '22

24 Nov '22

Hi Does anyone know how to change the login resolution? Since installing a Radeon, the login screen has got large fonts, looks almost like 1024*768 whereas my desktop is 1920*1080. I've tried system settings and that only seems to allow me to change a theme in "Startup and Shutdown/Login Screen (SDDM)" I've tried "Breeze" and "Breeze for openSUSE" and I can;t see a way to change those themes thanks regards Ian opensuse:tumbleweed:20221120 Qt: 5.15.7 KDE Frameworks: 5.100.0 - KDE Plasma: 5.26.3 - kwin 5.26.3 kmail2 5.21.3 (22.08.3) - akonadiserver 5.21.3 (22.08.3) - Kernel: 6.0.8-1-default - xf86-video-nouveau: 1.0.17

Problem starting amavis.service on newly installed Tumbleweed without IPv6
by Freek de Kruijf 23 Nov '22

23 Nov '22

I started with a fresh Tumbleweed system on a x86_64 system. Installed clamav, amavis-new and spamassassin. I adapted the .conf files a bit and have in amavisd.conf : #@mynetworks = qw( 127.0.0.0/8 [::1] [FE80::]/10 [FEC0::]/10 # 10.0.0.0/8 172.16.0.0/12 192.168.0.0/16 ); @mynetworks = qw( 127.0.0.0/8 ); This seems the solution to the error message when starting amavis.service nov 23 17:46:08 eiktum amavis[1242]: perl=5.036000, user=, EUID: 65 (65); group=, EGID: 65 65 (65 65) nov 23 17:46:09 eiktum amavis[1242]: (!)Net::Server: 2022/11/23-17:46:09 Can't connect to TCP port 10024 on ::1 [Cannot assign requested address]\n at line 64 in file /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.36.0/Net/Server/Proto/TCP.pm nov 23 17:46:09 eiktum systemd[1]: amavis.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE nov 23 17:46:09 eiktum systemd[1]: amavis.service: Failed with result 'exit- code'. nov 23 17:46:09 eiktum systemd[1]: Failed to start Amavisd-new Virus Scanner interface.

Can't find X11's XIM
by J Leslie Turriff 23 Nov '22

I'm trying to figure out if XIM is installed, but I don't know if it's a program or a library or named with upper- or lower-case, nor can I find any traces of it in the repositories (using search --provides). Leslie -- Platform: Linux Distribution: openSUSE Leap 15.4 x86_64

\EFI\BOOT\GRUBX64.EFI on ESP
by Felix Miata 23 Nov '22

23 Nov '22

\EFI\BOOT\GRUBX64.EFI on host gb250 ESP is 1,116,024 bytes and seems to be the original from when Ubuntu 18.04 was first added to the NVME's ESP /following/ Leap and TW installation, while /boot/efi/EFI/opensusetw/grubx64.efi is recent and 143,360 bytes, roughly 1/8 the size of buntu's in BOOT/. /boot/efi/EFI/debian12/grubx64.efi is more like 1/9 the size at 121,856 bytes, while /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu22/grubx64.efi is a match for the one in BOOT/ @1,116,024 with same timestamp. https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi is 934,024 bytes. On host ab250, \EFI\BOOT\GRUBX64.EFI matches /boot/efi/EFI/opensusetw/grubx64.efi @139,264 bytes, though with timestamps a day apart in 2020. 1-Are these grubx64.efi files created on installation specific to the installation, as was done in the MBR track on legacy partitioned disks, or simply extracted from an rpm? 2-What accounts for the vastly larger size of Ubuntu's version, or the largest one from TW in BOOT/? 3-Why is the one in BOOT from Ubuntu an apparent match to that in the ubuntu22 directory, yet those from openSUSE on BOOT either a match to one in opensusetw, or vastly larger? 4-Is it a problem, or can it be, if none of grubx64.efi or bootx64.efi or BOOTX64.EFI in /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/ match grubx64.efi in any other directory in /boot/efi/EFI/, particularly the one that has efibootmgr priority on a normal boot? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.

web.skype.com and Firefox
by Marco Calistri 21 Nov '22

21 Nov '22

Hello, I notice that when using web.skype with Firefox 107.0 (64 bit) I can't digit any accent on the letters because they simply went cancelled during the input. I try to do the same with Google Chrome and there it works perfectly. I don't know which could be the reason. Please note: I use LANG=it_IT.utf8. The wrote text below is the example I've inputted on web.skype by Google Chrome, which is correctly displayed:* test è è é é * Whereas the text below is the example I've inputted on web.skype by Firefox, which is incorrectly displayed (all the accented "e" are not generated) : *test* Regards, -- Marco Calistri Build: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20221120 Kernel: 6.0.8-1-default - XFCE: (4.16.0)
